Fur beetle larva (likely varied carpet beetle)

Indoors around carpets, upholstery, clothing, lint, and window sills; adults often occur on flowers outdoors.

Larvae consume keratin-containing materials such as wool, fur, feathers, leather, and dead insects. Adults primarily feed on pollen and nectar.

Larvae are slow-moving, hairy, and hide in dark, undisturbed areas; they molt repeatedly and may leave shed skins. Adults are small, oval, and often attracted to light and windows.

Larvae can damage natural-fiber textiles and occasionally cause skin irritation from their hairs. They also help decompose animal remains; adults are minor pollinators.
